TOP 5 - List with the current favorites of cities, places and rooms of the academic staff of the architecture department of the TU Kaiserslautern
Building on the previous "TOP 5" list of small and large houses as well as book recommendations, the second edition of the "TOP 5" list with the current highlights of cities, squares and rooms of the academic staff of the architecture department of the TU Kaiserslautern is now being published. It also serves as a source of information and further education for students.
Drawing up lists, known today as rankings, is a very old cultural technique. At first glance, they "appear to be completely arbitrary and colorful. But it is precisely this apparent lack of logic that makes it possible to depict the balance of power that is at work in a society. "*.
Accordingly, the aim of these lists is not to objectively filter out the best building or book through possible multiple entries, which we do not intend, but to give students a better understanding of the thoughts and feelings of the teaching staff in the department.

Akad. direct. Cornelie Leopold:
"Cities, places and spaces were selected according to various criteria that are important to me. This is not a ranking list. Every city has positive and negative moments"
